we met a fascinating man on our cycle today ...

for 8 years he has been coming into this fenced off area next to the beach, and feeding the cats.

After the first two years, he discovered that it was not only the cats who were coming for the food ....

There were two river mongoose as well!

After many years, they have become quite tame (only towards him), and they now have two babies!

This cat is in such good condition. Its name is Smidgen - and it loves Neil so much.

He also feeds a rooster which was rescued from being slaughtered on the beach early one morning in a religious ritual - and we managed to spot him too - looking very shiny and proud of himself

Neil says he has tried to introduce some hens for his rooster, but the mongoose ate them!
